WHAT'S NEXT FOR XXC LEGACY? Produced by Re-Decay, XXC Legacy's new single When You Know is inspired by her new partnership with a local brand, where she explores her journey as a young black woman in the local music scene.

The single features Djenga, who is best known for his work with the award-winning electronic duo, Locnville.

It has a very old-school beat which references influences such as Wu-Tang and the theme song from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, but I also wanted to share my story and values and to encourage others to take that risk, follow your dreams and set your own trends, explained the muso.
